    That's good because the last one I played was FF4 and vividly remember 3rd grade TLAU being obsessed with that game.

    Cecil vs. Kain was some serious drama for me

    Both games are great. FF16 has far more spectacle and moments of “what the fuck is happening this is awesome”, GoT is like playing through your favorite samurai movie.

    Game is outstanding. Had never played one before and was hooked.

    Sounds like I just purchased a backlog that'll last me a few years. Gonna have to focus on one at a time since the GF is gonna be vying for Hogwarts time on the console and we're getting BG3 to have for "playing together."

    Played the opening scenes and fight training last night. Visually and musically impressive cut scenes. Think I'm gonna go through this game first since the internet consensus is around ~25 hours to complete which is nothing compared to some of the others on the to-do list

    Downloaded and played for about 2 hours last night.
    about 30 minutes spent fighting
    about 90 minutes watching cut scenes

    I'm assuming this levels out? Love the combat but only got to fight like one time really clearing out goblins from a swamp. Fighting feels a little bit like Jedi Survivor

    It’s final fantasy, there’s always a ton of cut scenes. You’re in the prologue of the game though, it opens up eventually.

    Finally downloaded. These graphics/cut scenes are amazing. This isn’t an RPG though. Disappointed. The 10 year old is loving it though so I’ll watch him play it. Action/RPG isn’t what I expected.

    Yea the actual RPG elements are pretty lacking for a FF game, the gearing and side quests seems pretty much lifted from FF14 that favors linear simplicity instead of depth and complexity, which works as for FF14 as a MMO but is definitely on the weaker side for a single player game.
